Job Description

Brewer's Fork is a vibrant and beloved restaurant and beer bar located in Charlestown, just minutes from the Navy Yard. Known as a neighborhood's dream spot, Brewer's Fork warmly welcomes locals and visitors alike with its inviting atmosphere and engaging hospitality. Open for lunch, brunch, and dinner every day of the week, this establishment prides itself on being a gathering place for family, friends, and beer enthusiasts. The menu features an enticing array of pizzas, sides, salads, sandwiches, and more, all prepared in-house and cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. This unique cooking method ensures quality and adds a distinctive flavor to every dish. The restaurant's family-friendly vibe complements the welcoming environment, making it a popular location for daily visits and regular customers. As Brewer's Fork gears up for the busy spring and summer seasons, it is excited to expand onto its private patio, offering guests an enhanced dining experience in an outdoor setting when the weather permits.

Brewer's Fork is currently seeking hospitality-minded individuals to join its energetic and fast-paced bar team. This part-time position emphasizes weekend availability, specifically Saturdays and Sundays, to support the bustling atmosphere during peak hours. The service style at Brewer's Fork is dynamic and multi-faceted, with team members collaborating closely behind the bar to manage orders, run drinks, deliver food, and assist with bussing duties. Ideal candidates are observant, considerate, and proactive in anticipating the needs of guests and colleagues alike, possessing a keen ability to understand and contribute to the overall flow of service.

At the heart of Brewer's Fork is the bar, a social and lively hub where friends and regular patrons converge multiple times a week. The bar features over 30 taps, showcasing a curated selection of craft beers that highlight local breweries and their distinctive flavors. Bartenders are expected to have a solid knowledge of beer styles, regional breweries, and the nuances of the beverage program. This includes the ability to guide guests confidently through what may initially seem like an extensive and possibly intimidating beer list. Passion for both beer and customer service is essential, as bartenders will be primarily responsible for serving pints, liters, steins, and goblets from the impressive beer selection. While a limited number of cocktails are available, the focus and pride of the establishment lie in its beer expertise and community connections.

In addition to working with a team of energetic and hard-working individuals, Brewer's Fork offers a set schedule for all front-of-house staff. Unlike many establishments, Brewer's Fork does not operate late into the night, making it an attractive option for those looking to avoid late-night shifts and 2am closes. Employees can enjoy a balanced work-life schedule while contributing to a popular and growing neighborhood business. The role requires a solid foundation in service fundamentals and restaurant operations, while the team provides comprehensive training on the menu and beer offerings. A love for pizza and craft beer rounds out the ideal qualities for candidates looking to join the Brewer's Fork family. Overall, this position is perfect for individuals who appreciate a community-centered workplace where quality food, fantastic beer, and memorable service come together.
